Question about Mother Goddess

[mradwan 0]

Hi fellow runners,

 

There is a small debate in my netrunning group regarding the ability of Mother Goddess, where it says "Mother Goddess gains the subtypes of all other rezzed ice.". The debate is that some people consider Code Gate, Sentry, and Barrier as the subtypes that Mother Goddess gains, where I think that the subtype is stuff like AP, destroyer, tracer, and so on. 

 

Can someone clarify that.

 

Thanks a lot,

Mohamed

You are both right. "AP, Barrier, Bioroid, Code Gate, Destroyer, Grail, Mythic, Observer, Sentry, Tracer" are all examples of subtypes. Compare the text on, say, Deus X and Gingerbread to the text on Battering Ram and Femme Fatale.

She synergizes with NEXT ice for purposes of those cards' text.

So would you be able to reveal her from your hand when a runner encounters a grail ice?

No. Card abilities are only active when installed and rezzed.

So you need one Mother Goddess in hand and one rezzed, and then it can count as a valid Grail target.

[Grimwalker 647]

No, because Mother Goddess' text giving her the Grail trait is not active, as the copy in HQ is not installed and rezzed.

 

Bottom line, she doesn't synergize with Grail ice at all.

Remember that cards that use self-referential language only refer to themselves, and not other copies of the same card.
